History
During the Fall of 2001, SSC's UCSL coordinated a "We Stand Together" campaign that raised over $52,000 to benefit families of fallen firefighters from September 11, 2001 attacks. The SSC was also involved in the Graduate Student Organizing Committee unionization in 2001 and subsequent strike in 2005.
On November 3, 2005 the University Senate, based on a recommendation from the SSC's UCSL, passed a resolution for a campus-wide ban on the sale of products produced by the Coca-Cola Company. This ban was subsequently lifted in Spring 2009.
